Application led July 17, 1914. Serial No. 851,618.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, JAMES BossART, a citizen of the United States, residin at San Francisco, in the county of San rancisco and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Memorandum- Calendars, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates tocalendars of that type embodying a pad of leaves for presenting the calendar information and receiving memoranda, and the object ofmy invention is to provide a simple and convenient con-v struction of index whereby any particular leaf of the pad may be turned to for inspection in a ready and expeditious manner.

The invention consists of the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts herein fully described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawing in which p Figure 1 is a perspective view of a calendar'pad embodying my invention, showing the first leaf turned back. Fig. 2 is a plan view of a portion thereof showing the index sheet. i

Referringto the drawing, 1 designates a memorandum pad comprising a backing 2, leaves 3 and binding or fastening members 4, the said leaves being perforated at their upper ,endsforthe passage of said binding or fastening members, whereby the leaves areheld in position, and whereby `successive leaves may be turned backward to successively expose the same.

, The vleaves are arranged, in the usual manner, inmonth groups, each groupv embodying a leaf for each day included there-k in, which groups are arranged in regular or-v der, beginning with January at the top, and ending with December at the bottom.

In accordance with my invention, the

leaves of the respective groups are provided with marginal indicating tabs for coperation with an indicating table 6, which. table is' printed directly upon the marginal projecting portion of the backing 2401 upon a sheet secured thereto. The tabs of the leaves of the month groups bear indicating characters peculiar to the groups, which may consponding days of the month period repre sented by that group are arranged to reg1s ter with the associated or corresponding month numerals in the table 6.

instance, the tab F, attached to the leaf of p l the Feb. group representing the 18th day of that month, is arranged in registry with the numeral 18 of the table 6.

From the foregoing, it will be readily understood that the invention provides an index by means of which a leaf appropriateto any particular day of any particular month may be easily, quickly and conveniently found for inspection by simply locating the particular tab of the month group which registers with the day numeral in-the day table, whereupon the particular leaf in question may be exposed to view, allowing notes or memoranda of any kind made at any time y to be easily reached and inspected, or a leaf appropriate to any future date Ato be reached for the inscription of notes `or memoranda thereon.

e I claim A calendar comprising a base, fastening members projecting upwardly therefrom, and a pad of leaves mounted upon the base and engaging said fastening members so as to be individually turned back for reference thereto, said leaves being of smaller dimensions than the base so as to dispose portions of the latter to provide marginal extensions on at least three sides thereof, said extensions being provided -with substantially equal divisions of a month index table bearing the month day numerals in re lar order, thefsaid leaves being arranged in superposed 'month groups and the leaves of the respective groups being provided at their In testimony whereof I aix my signature f sides with index tabs bearing thereon mdiin presence of two witnesses. f
